If you wish for your child to attend a grammar school in Kent but outside the Medway boundary, your child must sit the Kent Test.
The Kent Test is divided into 2 sections and an additional writing exercise.
English and Maths paper – 1 hour in multiple choice format. Each section will take 25 minutes with 5 minutes for preparation.
The English section consists of a comprehension exercise and some additional questions designed to test literacy skills.
Reasoning paper – about 1 hour in multiple choice format, including practice questions and drill. This contains verbal as well as non-verbal and spatial reasoning sections.
Writing exercise – 40 minutes, including 10 minutes to plan the piece. The exercise isn’t marked, but taken into consideration in borderline cases.
